Cobalt-Blue has written for Caliber Comics, Combo Magazine, and Atlanta Outworlders (Dragoncon). His works tend to center around fantasy, horror, and scifi with a strong leaning toward superheroes. With over thirty titles under his belt, his Atlantis Unleashed Universe deals with a world where the UN is out of control, and transhumans fight for the right to just survive. The Cadre 5 Universe deals with neohumans on an Earth where the ancient Gods have returned to uplift man to divine status. The Godstone Universe deals with the diminiature heroes known as the Alpha Knights as they adjust to shifting from being teenagers in 1979, to ultrahuman heroes in an alternate modern era with a Federal World Authority where the world's most powerful villains are out to kill them. In a crossover event, these universes were merged last year into the Earth Reforged universe where they battle the forces of a rogue angel hell-bent on seeing any world with super powers or magic destroyed. Finally, his Kindred universe is a young adult paranormal romance series set in Eastern Kentucky. Werecats, dragons, werewolves, vampires, and superheroes abound in his writing. His writing influences include Gene Roddenberry, J. Michael Straczynski, Chris Claremont, and Diane Duane.
